Erratum

The following errors were published in the article by Simonson et al. (2015).

In the abstract, the sentence

“Using multiple linear regression, variance in peak ${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2}$ kg^–1 was primarily attributed to QT, DM, and PCO2 (R² = 0.88).”

should have been

“Using multiple linear regression, variance in peak ${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2}$ kg^–1 was primarily attributed to QT, DM, and PCO2 (R² = 0.90; adjusted R² = 0.88).”

“Yi et al. 2010” in‐text citation should have been included in the sentence “Low, sea‐level range, [Hb] among Tibetans at altitude is associated with adaptive changes in hypoxia‐related genes (Beall et al. 2010; Simonson et al. 2010; Yi et al. 2010), suggesting that this reduction, at least in part, has a genetic basis.”

The sentence

“The Han Chinese subjects, whose [Hb] falls in a higher range than more than half of the Tibetan subjects examined (from 18.1 to 21.1 g/dl −1 (11.2 – 13.1 mmol−1) in nine Han Chinese males), exhibit a similar relationship to exercise capacity (r = −0.83; y = −3.2x + 99).”

should have been

“The Han Chinese subjects, whose [Hb] falls in a higher range than more than half of the Tibetan subjects examined (from 18.1 to 21.1 g/dl [or 11.2 – 13.1 mmol−1] in nine Han Chinese males), exhibit a similar relationship to exercise capacity (r = −0.83; y = −3.2x + 99).”

The wrong version of figure 4 was published. The corrected version is:

Figure 4. Measured versus predicted peak VO2 in 21 Tibetan males at 4200 m.

Highly significant relationship (r = 0.95; p < 0.001) between measured VO2peak/kg (y axis) compared to that predicted by linear regression; standardized predictors include P_aCO2 (β = −0.19), cardiac output (QT)/kg (β = 0.38), diffusion capacity in muscle (DM)/kg (β = 0.63).
